Flight Research Hanger, building 1244: Aircraft on display included the B-757, T-34C, OV-10A, B-200, UH-1H, T-38A, SR-22, C-206H, Columbia 300, and the AGATE 1B. Aviatrix Elinor Smith was also at the hanger to sign autographs. In 1927 she was the youngest person to receive her pilot's license which was signed by Orville Wright. She knew many of the pioneer flyers such as Jimmy Doolittle, Charles Lindbergh, and Amelia Earhart. Source: http://nix.ksc.nasa.gov/info?id=EL-2001-00328&orgid=1

Sunset shots of S-131. S-131 launched August 10, 1965. The flight was a success. Notes on the mission remark that the mission demonstrated the fourth-stage interchangeability and air transport demonstration. It was the first flight of the Castor IIA, FW4-S, 75 KS spin motors, Vega Beacon, Autodestruct Module, Dogleg, Transition "E", Ignition monitor and electrostatic experiment.

Supra Medical Systems is successfully marketing a device that detects the depth of burn wounds in human skin. To develop the product, the company used technology developed by NASA Langley physicists looking for better ultrasonic detection of small air bubbles and cracks in metal. The device is being marketed to burn wound analysis and treatment centers. Through a Space Act agreement, NASA and the company are also working to further develop ultrasonic instruments for new medical applications Source: http://nix.ksc.nasa.gov/info?id=EL-1996-00212&orgid=1

The photograph shows a 15%-scale model of the F-18E undergoing thrust effects testing in the NASA Langley 30-by 60-foot Tunnel. High-pressure air is routed via copper tubes to engine simulators inside the model. The air is then expelled through the aircraft nozzles to generate thrust forces which can be scaled to match flight conditions. The purpose of the test is to investigate how the thrust force and its rotated flow field affect the aerodynamic stability and control characteristics of the...

The Human Engineering Methods (HEM) Research Laboratory is utilized for the development of human-response measurement technologies to assess the effects of advanced crew station concepts on the crews ability to perform flight-management tasks effectively. Behavioral response and psychophysiological response measurement systems have been developed to assess mental loading, stress, task engagement, and situation awareness. Measurement capabilities include topographic brainmapping (EEG and evoked... Source: http://nix.ksc.nasa.gov/info?id=EL-1996-00067&orgid=1

Full Description: The Langley 0.3-Meter Transonic Cryogenic tunnel (0.3-m TCT) is used for testing two-dimensional airfoil sections and other models at high Reynolds numbers. The tunnel can operate continuously over a range of Mach numbers from about 0.1 to above 1.2, with a stagnation pressure from 14.7 to 88.0 psia (1 to 6 atmospheres) and a stagnation temperature from -320F to 130F (78 K to 328 K). This results in a maximum Reynolds number capability in excess of 100 x 106 per foot. The... Source: http://nix.ksc.nasa.gov/info?id=EL-1996-00071&orgid=1
